Being monitored because of preeclampsia.. will I be induced early?
I am in my 35th week now. I had to get a 24 hr urine panel done and some blood tests because I was having protein in my urine at the doctors, spike in weight gain (6 lb in 2 weeks), and a headache that's been going on for a couple weeks. The urine test came back high so he has me going to the hospital for an NST and AFI twice a week and weekly appointments now. My blood pressure has been up a little but it will jump around. I do have a blood clotting disorder (factor v Leiden) that puts me at a higher risk for it but never got it with previous pregnancies. Doctor has me on at home bedrest told me to rest as much as possible and keep legs elevated. He said considering my protein was so high that it'll get worse the farther along I get. I'm wondering if there is anyone that had preeclampsia that was being monitored but was able to hold off on delivering until they were 39-40 weeks? I know 37 is full term but I just don't want her to come too early.
